    Love your videos. I was taught to say "the weather is very warm" or "... is so warm that ...", not just "the weather is so warm".

    Mam,no confusion about those words as spellings are quite different and meaning also different.

    Hmm, I try to be concise all the time but it makes my speech short and boring. I’m more of a serious person. Straight to the point get things done. Period. I’m not good in making jokes or have bubbly motivational talk. Need help 😢

    Somewhere in 1995 the US Ambassador came to Kyiv, Ukraine. And I translated 'leasing' as 'leazing', as we usually pronounce it. He was not pleased. And I remember it thirty years later😃

    Why should everybody use American pronunciation ? Nothing wrong with an Indian using an Indian accent/French using French accent etc...American English is full of grammatical mistakes with way too much usage of vulgar language...be proud of your English whatever your accent !

    Is "I recommend that you don't speak this way" (around 5:36) grammatically correct? Shouldn't it be "I recommend that you not speak this way"? At least to sound professional :)

    thanks for your video, it seems you put a lot of effort into it. I can only speak for myself, because I'm not a native speaker, but in my opinion it would've been beneficial to indicate what pronunciation you used at the very beginning of your video, because many of these words are pronounced differently in e.g. RP/BrE. also, I learned the IPA when I started to learn English, so sometimes the phonetic notations you were using were a bit off putting (e.g. there's no 'y' in IPA, only 'j' or we don't indicate the so-called non-rhotic 'r' sound, like in "colonel"). again, these are just suggestions, thanks for your great video.
